About me
I have a passion for helping people gain freedom in their lives + thrive in their relationships.
            I do my best to compassionately understand where you are in this season of life and help you honestly identify where you want to be. I enjoy working with adult + adolescent clients in individual, couples and group therapy to identify & work through the barriers the get in the way of living a full and rich life, including past trauma, stress management, life transitions, attachment issues & self-esteem. I have particular expertise in working with folks who want to deepen their emotional intimacy and also those who struggle with codependency. I have a passion for helping people gain freedom in their lives + thrive in their relationships. I do my best to compassionately understand where you are in this season of life and help you honestly identify where you want to be. 
I work from trauma- informed, attachment lens, with a somatic focus so that you can obtain holistic healing (mind + body + spirit). I draw from psychodynamic thought often in my work with individuals, couples + groups. 
I know it can be really daunting to seek out a new therapist. It is a bold and also very loving act towards yourself-so if you are ready for that, please feel free to reach out!
